Reds' Chapman arrested in traffic stop

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was arrested after he was stopped for driving 93 miles per hour in Grove City, Ohio, early Monday, according to police, multiple media outlets reported.

Police told the Cincinnati Enquirer that Chapman, 24, was pulled over for speeding in a black Mercedes at about 12:42 a.m. When the officer discovered Chapman had a suspended Kentucky driver's license, he was arrested and cited for speeding and driving with a suspended license.

He was released after posting bond, and he has a court date scheduled for June 6. His car was impounded by the Grove City Police Department, according to NBC4 in Columbus.

"We are aware of the situation," Reds director of media relations Rob Butcher told the Enquirer.

Chapman met with Reds general manager Walt Jocketty and manager Dusty Baker after the game Monday, according to NBC4, and they received different information.

"He didn't get arrested," Baker said. "He got a speeding ticket. His people are working on it and we're helping him."

Chapman, who had defected from Cuba, has recently been installed as the Reds closer. He is 3-0 with one save and has yet to give up an earned run in 22 1/3 innings this season. He did not pitch in Monday's game.
